You know, when you live a life where money is never abundant, the foods you wish you had constant access to are a rarity and material items seem to be the gateway to eternal happiness, you create this fantasy world that subsequently over shadows what lies in front of you. What truly keeps you afloat.
I want so badly to ditch this material hierarchy and run back to mediocrity. I miss the simplistic sense of comfort my middle class America gives me. The unconditional love and faithfulness of my family and life long friends.
Having everything paid for and provided on a silver platter doesn’t hold a candle to the feeling of acceptance. Knowing that no matter how little you have to your name, everything is perfect because the support system that surrounds you is enough to keep you going. To keep you smiling. And if nothing else, to simply keep you happy.
I miss that. I need that.
